WORLD CONFERENCE: Goodnight, Goodnight

Not since Wartime had short, narrow Downing Street
been so jammed with reporters from wall to wall. A message from
President Roosevelt was expected and delegates of the World Monetary
& Economic Conference had been waiting all day for it. Suddenly the
Prime Minister's motor car was sighted and word whipped round that the
message had come. Scot MacDonald, alighting hatless in full evening
dress, stepped inside and tried to calm the delegates, urged them by
inference to go home.
